Josh Wagner is a storyteller, transmedial artist, and researcher based in the Southwest of Ireland. He has produced award-winning work in film, theatre, comics, and traditional prose. Publication credits include Cafe Irreal, Fish Publishing, Not One of Us, Cleaver Magazine, Medulla Review, Fractured Lit, the Lovecraft eZine, Routledge Press and Image Comics. He received his BA in Creative Writing from the University of Montana, his MSc from the University of Edinburgh, and his PhD in Creative Practice from University College Cork.
Current research-led practice centers on sonic composition, site-responsive sound design, and film scoring.
